Chapter 3995 What is calligraphy

"Wo!!!" Everyone cheered up after hearing this!

I didn't expect that the clan leader would arrive at this time. What's going on?

What everyone knows is that the patriarch has always been aloof and his public appearances have become less and less. Moreover, it is said that he is currently in retreat and is still cultivating a precious black lotus. If you want to see him, you may have to wait until the mission When he set out to Tai Lao Black Cave, he was unexpectedly alarmed by the arrival of Ling Daozi, and he visited the Presbyterian Church in person at this time. This shows that he must attach great importance to Ling Daozi!

Except for Zhiyong, Yelusha, and a few slaves of Ladu, very few people know the origin of Ling Daozi. They only know that he is a famous calligrapher. Therefore, the fact that Ling Daozi alarmed Ladu makes others They were all extremely surprised, but no matter what, everyone was extremely excited to see the clan leader at this time. After all, they hadn't seen him for a while...

Everyone welcomed them out. Zhiyong and Ling Daozi also stopped talking. They were about to go out together, but they saw Ladu walking in surrounded by a group of people!

"I've met the clan leader!" Zhiyong saluted quickly.

"Hello, senior!" Xiaoxing saluted and smiled.

"No need to be polite! I heard that you are talking about calligraphy. I also want to come and listen. I wonder if it will disturb your elegant discussion?" Ladu sat down and said.

"Oh?!" Zhiyong was startled. He didn't expect that Ladu would come to listen to him talk about calligraphy, and he was speechless for a moment.

Xiaoxing smiled and said: "It turns out that senior also likes calligraphy. I have a question that I would like to ask Senior Zhi. I wonder if I can transfer this question to Senior to answer it?"

At this time, Ladu noticed Ling Daozi's stunning appearance. Things like appearance that are described by others are all false. Only what he sees with his own eyes is real. So after he saw Ling Daozi with his own eyes, he was in a daze. He didn't pay too much attention to Ling Daozi's words, and just said casually: "Xiao Ling, if you have any questions, please tell me..."

When Zhiyong heard this, he was secretly anxious and felt bad!

Among the people present, he was probably the only one who knew how accomplished Ling Daozi was in calligraphy. If there was a question that even Ling Daozi couldn't figure out, others might not even have heard of it, let alone answer it. , and Ladu's level of calligraphy is far lower than his own, how could he possibly answer Ling Daozi's questions?

"Many people like calligraphy, so what exactly is calligraphy?" Xiaoxing asked.

"What is calligraphy?!" Radu was startled!

"Yes, I wonder what definition senior would give to calligraphy?" Xiaoxing said with a smile.

"This... calligraphy..." Ladu couldn't say it for a moment!

This question seems extremely simple, but precisely because of its simplicity, it is the most difficult to answer!

Even Zhiyong next to him was stunned after hearing this, with a thoughtful look on his face...

Others were also confused for a while. Yes, everyone is talking about calligraphy these days, and countless people in the clan practice calligraphy every day, but what exactly is calligraphy?

It seems that after everyone devoted themselves to the practice of calligraphy, they later gave up on the pursuit of the most primitive question of what calligraphy is...

This situation actually exists in many fields. What practitioners in various fields come into contact with at the beginning are almost not the original things, but various Taoisms derived from the original sources. Many people euphemistically call them Stand on the shoulders of giants and climb higher!

Who knows, no one knows whether the giant he is standing on is the great road, the middle road or the small road, the right road or the side road, a broad road or a narrow path?

If you stand on the wrong shoulders of "giants", then it may not mean much to explore further. As Li Yun and Xiaoxing understand, in many fields, those who can achieve major achievements, make major breakthroughs and create brilliance are often Those who are more focused on exploring the origins of this field!

If the source is unclear, how can the flow not be turbid?

Only when the roots are deeper can the tree grow taller. Only when the tree grows from the source can it grow into a towering tree!

Ladu is looking embarrassed,

While everyone looked at each other, a young man standing behind Ladu stood up and said loudly: "Grandpa, can your grandson answer this question?"

"Ling Fei? Okay... tell me..." Radu nodded when he saw that the speaker was the grandson Ling Fei he had brought this time.

When everyone present saw that it was Ling Fei who stood up to answer, they couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that Ling Fei was a practicing madman and had always been immersed in practice, and the art of calligraphy was a Tao method that he specialized in. He has made great achievements at a young age and is recognized as a future star-level genius by the family's calligraphers!

Ling Fei looked a little unkempt, his hair was messy, it hadn't been taken care of for an unknown amount of time, and the beard on his face hadn't been trimmed properly. If he had left it for a little longer, he might have gone in the direction of the savages. Just now Ladu saw him He almost had to spank him when he looked like this. Unlike his cousin Yu Yu, who was handsome, unrestrained and free-spirited, showing mercy everywhere, Ling Fei's affection was probably dedicated to his Taoist cultivation...

He was still a little dazed when he followed Ladu in. For some reason, his grandfather had pulled him out early in the morning. Only when he got here did he realize that he was here to listen to a calligraphy discussion, and that it was Zhiyong and another master of calligraphy, Ling Daozi. He couldn't help but feel refreshed and stared at Zhiyong and Ling Daozi closely as soon as he came in. The result surprised him, because he was extremely shocked to find that Ling Daozi was not a member of the Black Hole tribe, and he was less than two thousand years old. Little brat!

Will this little kid be a great calligrapher? Grandpa, they can't make a mistake, right? !

This was Ling Fei's first reaction. His mood also changed from excitement to despair. It seems that today's time will definitely be wasted, unless Zhiyong can talk more...

Under such circumstances, he was stunned when he suddenly heard Ling Daozi raise such a question. However, since he was young after all, his personality was not as calm as those old foxes in the audience. Moreover, he had the intention from the beginning. He was contemptuous and did not realize how big a pitfall this question contained, so after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't wait to stand up and ask for help. After getting Ladu's permission, he said: "I heard that you are a calligrapher. Since you are a calligrapher, why would you ask? What is such a simple question as calligraphy? However, since you are asking my grandfather for advice, let me answer your questions on his behalf!"

"Wo..." The people in the seat couldn't help but burst into an uproar when they heard Ling Fei speak!

Some of the people's expressions changed greatly, but they still held back. After all, Ling Fei was the patriarch's beloved grandson. Could he have said this at the instruction of the patriarch?

If this was the order of the clan leader, then there was no need for him to stop Ling Fei from speaking like this...

These people are indeed old foxes. In this situation, they all choose to protect themselves first to avoid disaster. Only Zhiyong's expression changed, and he took a step forward and was about to speak, but Ling Daozi raised his hand slightly to block it, and said with a smile: " Sir, please speak!"

Ling Fei was in a state of excitement at this time, and all he could think about was this question. He didn't notice the changes in the emotions of the people around him at all. After hearing Ling Daozi's response, he said: "Calligraphy is actually writing, and practicing calligraphy is practicing calligraphy." Learn how to write techniques, and the works written using these techniques are calligraphy works. Each of us will learn the techniques of how to write our own characters since childhood. If we practice these techniques proficiently and write like a god, then we can write like a god. What comes out is naturally a work of calligraphy! However, it is still very difficult to do this. After all, many techniques are secret skills. Many people cannot learn them even if they want to. Even if they do, they may not understand the secrets. However, this still requires the practitioner to have a certain amount of talent. It can be said that those who can write well must be people with innate talent!"

"Well, that makes sense!"

"Young Master has a very thorough understanding of calligraphy!"

"Not bad, not bad. After all, he is extremely talented in calligraphy..."

"Young Master Ling is the core elite of our clan, a calligraphy genius, and a future star..."

"That's right..."

As soon as Ling Fei finished speaking, all the old foxes in the audience started singing praises, and they did not hesitate to praise him, which made Ling Fei feel a little carried away...

He hummed: "I also want to ask you a question!"

"Please speak!" Xiaoxing responded.

"What is calligraphy?" Ling Fei teased.

"Wo..." Everyone's praises stopped, their expressions changed slightly, and the atmosphere became a little strange...

Because everyone can hear that Ling Fei is tit for tat, replying to the other party with the same question. If the other party says the same thing as himself, then it is suspected of being unfair. If the other party says something inferior to himself, then it shows the shallowness of the other party. Come on, this fake great calligrapher has revealed his true colors...

According to etiquette, such a thing would not have happened, but Ling Fei's status was somewhat special, and one of Ladu's purposes for coming here was to see Ling Daozi's true face to prevent him from being framed in Tai Lao's black hole. , so although Ladu knew that Ling Fei's move was inappropriate, he still did not stop it explicitly, and just kept silent while stroking his beard. His attitude also made others dare not interrupt, so they had to stay silent...

Yelusha's face turned red from holding back, and he hesitated to speak, but he spoke softly. It was really not his turn to speak at this time, but Zhiyong finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Master, Xiaoling is our distinguished guest, you How could you be so rude?!"

"Hey, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Xiaoxing raised her hand to stop Zhiyong from continuing, and said in the direction of Ladu: "Senior, do you also want to hear junior's explanation of this issue?"

Seeing Ling Daozi pointing the finger at him, Radu couldn't pretend anymore and said, "It's okay for Xiao Ling to tell you. It can be a lesson to my grandson for being rude!"

"What?!" Ling Fei yelled!

"Hmph, listen carefully to what Xiao Ling says, and I will punish you when you get back!" Radu said slowly, stroking his beard.
